I don't know about the rest of you, but I am getting sick and *@#&$ tired of receiving a dozen plus spam mails a day from rogue RTG outfits. 99% of this being for fake casino landing pages that mask the identity of the true casino they are spamming, and the only links that are on that page lead to the download program for that casino. In which, 99% of the time lately is Gold VIP Club.
I know these are (or not?) affiliates of these RTG casinos, but isn't RTG themselves liable for their licensees? IE: Wouldn't they be ultimately liable, under the CAN-SPAM laws, for this spam?
I'm definitely no lawyer, so I can't make heads or tails of the CAN-SPAM laws, other than the basics. I know for a fact that some states have successfully sued spammers and WON...and I can also guarantee that people in those states are definitely getting spammed.
What I'm getting at here is, with enough evidence reported to the gov't, would RTG be held accountable for all of this spam, or the casino for whom the affiliate is spamming? It'd almost be impossible to catch the spammers directly, but if there's no casino to spam, then of course it'll go away.
Of course the casinos in question will blame it directly on the spammers, but IIRC, there have been companies sued for the actions of their employees, subcontractors, etc.
I'd love to see RTG crash and burn because of this, but I doubt that'll ever happen. But, it'd be the next best thing to see these rogue casino outfits disappear from the online world.
